Hi there I wonder if someone can help, Im a bit of a novice and learning my way, I have an exploded BOM from assembled products direct from a data source with various components and quantities that make up the assembled product. I am looking for a way that I can look up from a long list of product sales data of assemble units what components were used and how many over a timeline say each month so I can forecast stock requirements

The source data has assembled product codes and the qty sold

The BOM looks like this
